Key result
Lower medial S velocity on tricuspid TDI links to cardiovascular events in HF and AF.
Cohort (n=40)
No
Absolute Event Rate: 4.58% vs 5.67%
p-value: p=0.004
May inform prognosis in HF-AF; leaves open impact on management decisions.

Mahmoud Abdelsabour Abdallah (2016) conducted a cohort in Heart failure with atrial fibrillation (n=40). Tricuspid annulus pulsed wave tissue Doppler imaging (Medial S velocity) vs. Patients without cardiovascular events was evaluated on Cardiovascular events (death, admission with HF, increased diuretic dose, thromboembolic manifestations) (p=0.004). Lower medial S velocity on tricuspid annulus tissue Doppler imaging was significantly associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
